An Exclusive Interview With Juno Central AKA Mazi

Honk Magazine FD IMG 1

Industry need artists like JUNO CENTRAL with good sounds, lyrics etc. We got a chance to talk with the Rap & RnB artist from Decatur, Ga known as Juno Central.

Tell us who you are, where you’re from and what you do for a living?

I go by Juno Central but my friends call me Mazi. Raised in Decatur, Ga but I’ve been living in the Stockbridge-Conyers area for about ten years now. I’m a full time artist with a day job to help invest back into music.

Tell us your story from before the music, when did it all start?

All I knew was jazz and gospel from my parents growing up. When I was 10 my aunt was the pastor at our family church and she wanted to get the kids more involved so five of my cousins & I made a gospel rap group lol. That was my first time even hearing anything hip hop & I instantly caught on. My older cousin started showing me videos, taught me how to make beats, and really put me on to everything. I just got better and the rest was history.

What were the struggles you faced trying to get your music out there in the beginning?

Trying to find my sound, definitely. I love all music like my playlist can go from Chief Keef to Coldplay really fast. So me wanting to test different sounds/images was sort of stopping me from creating a solid fan base at first because my content was inconsistent. I had to find out what main lane I wanted to be in and then I could branch off.

Which song was that one?

“Drippy”. That song was a whole vibe and everybody loved it.

When it blew up what was the first thing you thought?

I told my friend Terrian (who is featured on the song) that it could really do numbers but I had some life stuff going on around that time so we couldn’t push it financially like we wanted to. But people have made videos, added to playlists and all that and it was a great feeling.People still sing it til this day lol. Its cool but it’s way more heat on the way.

Do you collaborate with artists that you listen to?

Yes I have to enjoy your music to work with you for real. I feel like the best product comes when you have good chemistry with another artist & I vibe with talent. It’s way too many that’s on my list mainstream but as far as locally of course.

How many artists have you collaborated with so far?

Kid Jemini, Tray Bills, RioSavv, Slxmm, King Nuu, and Cvlii are the most common but it’s way more. Probably over 20 including paid features.

How big is your team?

BGM (my team) just started rebranding this year so everything is changing right now but I’m always with the same 8 main people. From our photographer KicksOnWater to my engineer Cept, it’s all family.

What is the best part of doing what you’re doing and what’s the part you hate most?

I do this for Of course I want to be rich but I do it for the thrill of the chase. The performances, late night sessions, the culture , I love it all. But the one thing I could say I hate is how shady it can be. A lot of people don’t want to see you win so you just have to watch how you move. It’s a part of the game though.

Are you addicted to something? And what would that be?

Music and anything related to Atlanta, thats my passion. But my friends would probably say I’m addicted to wrestling and adidas lol. Can’t argue about it though.

Druski’s Past Comments on Attending Diddy’s Parties Resurface Amid Explosive Allegations

HonkMagazine

Comedian Druski is in a bit of hot water after an old interview clip came back to the spotlight amid serious new accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. This clip originally aired on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, where Druski talked nervously about his experiences at parties hosted by Diddy. With the recent news about Diddy, people on social media are now closely scrutinizing Druski’s words more than ever. In the clip, Druski says, “I’ve been in attendance,” trying to explain his presence at Diddy’s events. He adds, “It was a party. I wasn’t at one of them parties. I have been in attendance at a Puff party.” At the time, everyone laughed, but now, in light of the allegations, the mood has shifted.

Recent claims have linked Druski and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. to Diddy’s growing legal troubles, causing many to react to the clip differently. Some fans are keeping it light, joking about how uncomfortable Druski seemed. One person noted, “Bro was squirming out of his seat, he def cooked.” Others interpret his nervousness as a sign that he might have more to say. Comments from people reveal mixed feelings, one said, “The fact he got all defensive says enough,” while another quipped, “Nah bro wasn’t even famous around the time, but it’s funny as hell.”

This situation makes Diddy’s ongoing controversy even more complicated. For Druski, who is gaining recognition in the comedy world, being connected to such serious matters could damage his reputation. Although he hasn’t been accused of anything wrong, people are now looking back at his past comments with suspicion that wasn’t there before. In today’s digital age, it’s common for old statements to resurface and be re-evaluated. What might have seemed like a harmless joke can quickly become a source of intense public scrutiny.

Andrew Schulz Stands His Ground Against Kendrick Lamar Backlash, “I Hate Having to Explain Jokes”

HonkMagazine

Comedian Andrew Schulz is known for speaking his mind, and he’s making headlines again due to a recent controversy involving rapper Kendrick Lamar. During a discussion on The Breakfast Club, Schulz addressed the backlash he received after responding to a line from Lamar’s song, “wacced out murals.” The trouble started when Lamar made a reference to Schulz in his lyrics. In response, Schulz made a joke that many people found offensive, implying he could take advantage of Lamar because he’s shorter. This comment led to criticism, with many calling his joke inappropriate and harmful.

Nonetheless, Schulz defends himself, stating that context is important and believes he was responding to Lamar’s challenge. “They turned it into something racist right away. I’m just pointing out that he’s small!” Schulz said, expressing his frustration over the uproar. He added, “I don’t like having to explain my jokes. He’s little, so why is he telling people to harm my friends?” Schulz also pointed to Lamar’s lyrics, arguing that since Lamar made aggressive statements first, his joke was fair game. While Schulz sees the outrage as an example of selective sensitivity, many believe he went too far. This situation has sparked broader discussions about the limits of comedy, artistic expression, and whether responding to insults in entertainment is acceptable.

However, Schulz remains firm in his stance, suggesting he’s not the real villain. “I don’t like being seen as a bully. He told his fans to harm my friends,” he emphasized, suggesting that Lamar’s aggressive lyrics prompted an equally strong reaction from him. As this back and forth continues to draw attention, one thing is clear: Andrew Schulz isn’t backing down, and the backlash isn’t going away either. Whether this situation will calm down or escalate remains to be seen, but Schulz’s refusal to apologize highlights his unfiltered and unapologetic style, for better or worse.
